TEST 30

Describe a day spent by the river or bi the sea.

Summer comes together with its extreme heat and nobody can resist the
temptation to spend their holiday at the seaside.

Last week, in older to escape from the suffocating atmosphere of a

crowded city, my friends and I decided to go to Vung Tau beach. When we got to
the seaside, the beach had already been crammed with holiday makers. They
were either sunbathing on the beach for a short tie, we all took off our clothes
and let ourselves drift along on the waves.

Swimming brought us a good appetite. We enjoyed some sea foods and

then took a quick nap after lunch

In the afternoon we strolled along the beach, inhaling in rapture the fresh
sea air and took lots of photographs.
 A holiday at the seaside helped us get rid of all worries and trouble and
gave us health and enthusiasm to resume work again.
